Christmas Comfort Service
Join us for a time of healing and reflection…and rejuvenation – on December 10, 7 p.m. Christmas is thought of as a time to celebrate hope, love, joy and peace; yet, for many it is also a time of sadness and grief. If you are suffering a loss, stress, or just feeling alone, please come and be healed by the love and hope that our Savior offers.
